I often knit on several projects at once, trying to limit myself to only 3 projects at a time. I'm still knitting away on my The Easy Bulky One sweater ("Knitting The Bulky Blue"). I get excited when I see how the black bean dyed yarn works knitted up ( Feeling the Blues - Dyeing with Black Beans).
I finished my Ripples of Peace Shawl. I'm really pleased with it and the exercise of focusing on peace while knitting was very helpful. I hope to carry that feeling on into my future knitting.
The pattern - Project Peace 2017.
I tried to use every little bit of my yarn, I hate to waste. Adding a whole border of ripples with the darker Mares Silky Merino. Knitting and ripping out till I got it just right. All that's left.
I just started a new book "The Spring at Moss Hill" (Swift River Valley) by Carla Neggers. I've read her books before, and I enjoy them, but they usually are very slow paced, kind of like what I imagine Vermont to be. Her descriptions of Vermont and emerging Spring are beautiful.

Your Project Peace is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love your Project Peace shawl. Blue is the perfect color for peace. I bought the pattern, but the time to start it just hasn't quite arrived.
ReplyDeleteThat shawl is gorgeous! I too have the pattern. I think maybe you added some extra repeats of the border lace? Finishing the shawl at your own pace is my idea of a peaceful knit.
ReplyDeleteYes, I wanted to both use up all my yarn and I had a lot more of the dark, also I wanted it as long as possible to wrap a bit. So I had at first just did rows of eyelet holes and it didn't work, so I ripped that out. Then I repeated the lace and it was perfect. It kept the same drape as the lace, that scallop look. I'm real pleased with it.
DeleteOh what a fabulous finish. I JUST MAY HAVE To cast one on. Great job!! Great color. Peace to you !
ReplyDeleteThank you thank you thank you. I cast one one this weekend. Practicing peace is so good for me. I love this shawl project
